Bio: I rate entirely based on how enthusiastic I would feel if a friend called and told me to come over and watch the movie being rated. 50 is no enthusiasm, 100 isn't possible, and a 0 means I would be obligated to make a sardonic remark.

I hate to agree with hype. I mean I really hate it. But what kind of elitist won't give credit where it's due?

Nod to Alfred Hitchcock. Not an mind-bending twist, so don't look for a riddle of a punch-line, but it's definitely an attention holding ride.

Aeon Flux (2005) - Rated 31 Aug 2009
I went in with low expectations and partly expected to have to stop the movie because of the main character tumbling around in skimpy outfits. There's an element of that here, and that's annoying. The movie did surprise me however in that the skimpy-outfitness doesn't actually get as bad as I thought it might, and the plot is fun. There are several opportunities to rely too heavily on a gimmick of this scifi universe they play in, and I don't think they did that. I'd watch it again.

I can see where this would be your favorite movie if you're really into posting conspiracy theories as truth in your comments at Huffpo. There were a few interesting mini-stories, but once the whole thing wraps up it falls into a pool of it's own lame.
